iSkills: Research metrics and citation analysis tools: Part 3 researcher metrics
In this session we will examine metrics for individual researchers. Using tools such as Web of Science, Google Scholar and Scopus you will learn about the researcher h-index and its limitations. You will be introduced to additional metrics tools such as author beamplots which help to contextualise a researcher’s output over time. By the end of the session, you will be familiar with: accessing citation data for specific researchers on Scopus, Web of Science and Google Scholar; understanding how the h-index is calculated and its inherent limitations; creating an ORCID number to help track all your own research outputs; the importance of research outputs beyond journal and conference papers when assessing a researcher’s impact.
Intended audience: Oxford students, researchers and other staff.
